So how about your own private island in Maine?
( Or Vermont? )
( Possibly some golf in Nova Scotia? )
The Green island ad was 1915 and the first Vermont ad was 1934. Anyone want match up the other two to their years?

My least favorite flavor! I once bought a high end chocolate mint bar, only to discover... it wasn't peppermint. D: But i digress...
Wint-O-Green Life Savers, 1919?
I cannot for the life of me date this, so if anyone has ideas... 1919 has been suggested, so I'll go with that.

My favorite shade of green and one of my favorite logo designs ever.
Sinclair Oil Corporation, logo used 1933-present
Sinclair DINOLand™ ephemera from the 1964 NY World's Fair are collected HERE and HERE. They had a similar dino exhibit at the 1933 Chicago World's Fair. Ooh and I'm getting one of these hoodies! :D
A lovely dinosaur-rich Sinclair advert from 1964 is below the cut.
